Must Watch: First Badass Teaser Trailer for 'Cowboys & Aliens'!

Yet another movie to look forward to next summer! Universal has debuted the first teaser trailer via Yahoo for Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens, the comic book adaptation starring Daniel Craig as Civil War vet Jake Lonergan. The cast also includes Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano, Noah Ringer and Clancy Brown. The footage I saw at Comic-Con was awesome, and this teaser is plenty of that same stuff, but it's still great to see. Favreau is an expert at building up buzz and this teaser will do just that - it looks great! The aliens have an old school, vintage sci-fi feel and the western stuff look solid. Enjoy!

Craig plays Jake Lonergan, a stranger with no memory of his past who stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. But the town is soon invaded by aliens and Jake must pull together a posse comprised of former opponents to combat these extraterrestrials. In addition to Daniel Craig, Cowboys & Aliens also stars Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Noah Ringer, Clancy Brown and the legendary Harrison Ford as Col. Dolarhyde. Jon Favreau is directing this adaptation from a screenplay co-written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci & Damon Lindelof. Universal is bringing Cowboys & Aliens in only 2D to theaters on July 29th, 2011 next summer.

#9 Woops your right, that was an old name from an old synopsis, they changed it back to Jake Lonergan before shooting. Corrected it above!

Except for the wrist thingy,too iron man.. everything looks great.

talli

damn, no sam rockwell in the trailer??? Looks great, anyway

gahga

Not too impressed.
Harrison Ford looked out of place in that trailer and the visual effects and the CGI in the "skyline" alien abductions were again not too impressive.
The movie synopis in itself is great, but that trailer was stale.

As I mention on my blog not only is this a great trailer, but it also made me realize that Favreau doesn't get enough respect as a director even after directing a couple great movies. This movie has a true western feel to it and yet again makes you easily buy into his fantastical worlds.

Aha looks great 😉 though I got a western Jason Bourne feel in the opening scene aha

indyjack

I just shat my pants, now put captain jack spaarow in this movie and you got yourself a movie!

Cracky

I liked the beginning part with the bandits. Then it got really strained.
But that's a good thing. Not much was shown other than the initial confrontation-- which means there will be some wicked scenes later on.

ray

people are coming to conclusions based on a teaser?!? ridiculous, and i'm not talking about the teaser...
on topic, what a tease!

A5J4DX

when i first heard of this movie i thought it might be crap but this trailer changed my mind xD

Xerxex

did he stab a guy in the dick?
awesome teaser I'm in.

drcherd

I dont know I need to see more, right now it looks like its going to disappoint.

Wokkiee

Any movie with Daniel Craig is a good movie

AMG

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #2 (Kevin) & #5 (Gadder4311)! Pretty impressive!

Moon

If this wasn't a western it would be old and stale. The western elements took an old story and made it into a must see movie next year.

#34 haha true but I dont know man!!! it didnt look as cool as what I thought it was gonna be like.

indyjack

top three reasons Big Hoss is an ass clown:
1. He calls himself Big Hoss
2. he had nothing funny or intelligent to add, other than glib remarks.
3. He makes lists like this
p.s. i was kidding about the Jack sparrow comment Dumb Ass! and what the Hell is "pry Homosexual?"

Timmy

Based on #34, it looks like the studio people are on full damage control. It's easy to manufacture false "i like it" comments with tens of different aliases on this site.

Bigger Hoss

That trailer was terrible. Terrible acting by Ford and sucky alien scenes.
(#37 proving a point)

Medium Sized Hoss

But really, the trailer WAS bad.

Spider

Awesome! I am exhilaratingly teased! Just when I thought I couldn't get too excited about a forthcoming flick! The Harrison Ford/ Daniel Craig team up is inspired! Clancy Brown, Sam Rockwell, and Olivia Wilde in this too. Looks like Favreau has another ace in the hole!

tir na nog

Looks good,Ford looks cool,back to his best.

Jeep-Fu

Holy crap! That looked bad ass! Based on that one trailer I'll go see this!

Raymond

I had no idea about this movie until yesterday, read a bit about it was pretty excited. Now after seeing that teaser I am making this a day one must see. Craig + Ford = pure win!

deltavoyage

Very, very, very nice.

CLAW

I wish this was the only trailer they would show us until it gets released but you know the next trailer will show us everything and ruin any surprise we may have coming.

carlos

Badass isn't the word I would use to describe this, I hope the actual trailer looks more enticing.

Geoff

total mehfest

victor

craig is awesome for this role, downey would've turned this into shit.

jah p

Looks good, but it seems to have the same vibe as the "Outlander" movie that came out a couple of years ago about the alien visitor from another planet who fights with the vikings against an alien creature, seems to be the same concept.

'Universal is bringing Cowboys & Aliens in only 2D to theaters on July 29th, 2011 next summer.'
has it really gotten to the point where you have to point out that it will not be in 3d?
looks good, great cast

It looks like he has the thing from Ben 10 .... if Jon Favreau directed that, that would be awesome...

ConnachtFan

I laughed at 1:28 mark when you can clearly see the cowboy being yanke din th eair by a guide wire....

Jimmy Love

This looks like a good one to me, not a reboot or a remake, sequel, prequel & not in 3D well thats just about perfect then.

Jamie

I can not wait for the prequel to this movie, I think its called 'Indians & Aliens'.

Fisherr

I liked what has been done to the project, people will start hyping for the movie.Craig looks like he is gonna do a great job with Ford and the rest of the crew.
Looking good for a teaser, long one.
I will keep my eyes peeled for that projekt.

I am…

just like the comic con footage. nothing new! Anyway, it's another hit for Favreau and More power to him.
Have you noticed the effing credits as producers??? Spielberg,Ron Howard and Grazer...Whoa! That's a mega hit then! loll!
Can't wait!!

I am…

you're a nut Jamie @ 61, loll!

Adrian

Finally something that didn't put me to sleep 10 seconds into the trailer.

McWilly
